Smoked!

I want to have my taillights smoked. Real nice. I dont want to use the spray can way. Does anyone know of an online service or where I can buy 6th gen taillights smoked. I know Deus has his done and a few others. Can anyone shed some light on this.
Thanks
Jon

There are companies that sell dark film to apply to your tails.

Not to get off topic, but your tires are too small. The proper size for a 19" wheel is 245/40/19. A 35 series tire is almost 1" smaller in diameter than a 40 series tire.

Does the tire size vary from manufacturer to manufacturer?? I got a great deal on the tires. And I saw GLUDE's car with the 245/35/19's conti's and it seemed a good size. Is that a wrong size, will it ride or look funky.

Thanks for your.02.....got me thinking.

I was looking at these on that site and it gives two options for the overlays: 20% light or 35% dark. Wouldnt the 20% be more darker than the 35%? Or does that just have to do with window tint? Im confused.

Yeah doesn't make any sense to me either. I'm really interested in getting this done to my tails as well but don't know just how dark the light ones are or if they are even noticeable.

Interesting, they sell front covers in smoke, charcoal, blue, yellow and clear. I might get some clear to protect my lenses (getting a bit beaten up from the road)

I got 255/35/19s, not 245. I went wider because it added some sidewall. Those wheels you ordered should look sick though.
